PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This device is used to control the vibration level a
vibratory feeder. The unit is powered from the incoming
line connection. The unit has its own Master Control PC
board. The setup and operation is detailed in the
following product literature.

INSTALLATION
The control is to be firmly mounted to a non-vibrating
surface. The control is designed to withstand conditions
equal to IP54. Do not install the control in a more
severe environment. Connections to external conduits
or cords are to be made with hardware that is rated at
IP54 or better.
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram. Line and load
wiring is to be brought into the box via customer-drilled
holes. Use 1.5mm
2
(#16 AWG) Mains supply wires or
larger. Use 1.5mm
2
(#16AWG) load wires or larger.
The Mains supply wires should be fused by the
Customer at 8 amps or less. After the wiring has been
completed, verify the continuity of the ground bond
connection to the control.
This control is for industrial use. Use in residential
areas may cause interference, and in that case, special
measures may have to be taken by the user regarding
emissions.
IMPORTANT - The vibratory feeder must be tuned
to match the power line frequency of the
destination country (50 or 60 Hz). A feeder tuned
to the wrong frequency will not feed parts. The
Rodix control operates on 50 or 60 Hz.
SAFETY
When installing this control, a power supply
disconnect device must be provided by the user.
A power plug/socket combination can be utilized for
this purpose. The plug and socket must have a
breaking capacity of at least the amperage of the
vibratory feeder(s).

Warning – There is hazardous voltage inside the
control. Disconnect power before opening the
enclosure.
Only skilled or instructed persons should
open the enclosure.
An electrically instructed person is a person
adequately advised or supervised by an electrically
skilled person to enable him or her to perceive risks
and to avoid hazards which electricity can create.
An Emergency stop device must be installed on the
machine that incorporates the CE feeder control.
When the machine is installed, verify the continuity of
the protective bonding circuit (earth ground) to the
control.
PERIODIC INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL
TESTING
When the control is operating normally, the output
can be smoothly adjusted from zero to maximum
by the main control knob. If part sensors are used,
the control starts and stops automatically
according to the time delay settings on the circuit
board. If soft-start is used, the output should start
at zero and ramp up to the desired setting each
time the control automatically starts.
The control should be kept reasonably free from
dirt and contaminants that might inhibit proper
cooling. No other planned maintenance is
necessary.

Normally no maintenance is needed for this
control. If troubleshooting assistance is needed,
